Saris Bones 3 Bootrack

Probably the most car paintwork-friendly and best looking boot rack on the market. Instead of employing straight bike holding arms, the Saris Bone's arms are arched. This design supports each bike at a different level and helps you mount them neatly with less likelihood of the bars of one bike getting tangled with its neighbour's. Similarly the rack's arched lower leg makes it more able to clear a car's spoiler.

Soft rubber padded car-contact points make the Saris Bones 3 less likely to tarnish your car's paint job (a risk you take if you attach anything to a car).

Review

'The Saris Bones has been around for a few years, but the design still looks fresh. That's not top priority when choosing a rack, but when most rear-mounted carriers look a bit agricultural, there's no harm in a little bit of style – especially when the performance backs it up.

No assembly is needed – the Bones 3 is ready to use straight out of the box. Fitting it just requires loosening the arms and legs and adjusting them to suit the shape of your car.

The instructions are clear, with an easy-to-follow mix of diagrams, pictures and clearly written steps. Even the hooks (six in total) are labelled so you know if they should attach to the top, the bottom or the side of the boot opening. The Bones 3 can carry three bikes, and a lifetime warranty is included in the price.'bikeradar.com

Although we don't have a definitive list for which rack fits which car the Saris is compatible with most saloon and/or estate cars. We would always recommend bringing your car along to one of our shops to ensure compatibility.

Do you do the 2 bike version? How heavy is it? Is it easy to put on for one person alone?

We don't keep the 2 bike version of the Saris Bones rack in stock however it should be available to order. To order please give us a call on the 0131 331 5010 or 0845 257 0808. We don't have the 2 bike version in stock however can tell you that the 3 bike rack weighs 4.8kg. Please note that this is a weight we have taken and is for guidance only. The 2 bike version will be slightly lighter. The Saris Bones is a very easy rack to use and one person can fit the rack. The first time you fit the rack it can take 5-10 minutes however after you know the settings for your car it only takes a couple of minutes. There aren't any tools required for fitting. The rack uses 6 ratcheted fitting straps and the arms can be adjusted and secured by hand.

Can you tell me if this bike rack is suitable for full suspession bikes namely a Whyte t129s?

It all depends on the bike really so it is hard to say it will. It is obviously a bit trickier with a full suspension bike as they don't generally have a top tube as such so we probably wouldn't recommend it without having the chance to try it first of all.
